Wine with Voodoo5 card, using Glide

[szilagyic]

Hello:

I've got a PC that I just set up with Fedora 10, Wine 1.1.9, that has a Voodoo5 5500 AGP card. I have the Glide3 drivers installed, and Glide is working with X11 just fine with DRI. My question is, how do I get Wine to use this card in Glide mode (not DirectDraw or Direct3D)? I have seen posts about installing Glide wrappers in Wine with other Nvidia and ATI cards, but do I need to install the wrappers since my card supports Glide natively? I can't figure out how to get any games in Wine to recognize that Glide mode is available for my Voodoo card. For instance when I try to run Diablo II Video Test, it doesn't recognize that Glide mode is available. It works in DirectDraw (2D) mode just fine, but it would be nice to have it use Glide mode as Glide is far superior to DirectDraw.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope there are some out there still using this card, thank you very much !!!

You can't. Wine uses OpenGL and nothing else.
You can use glide drivers inside Wine for glide -> D3D or glide -> OpenGL. But outside Wine talks OpenGL only to the X11.

OK thanks, I appreciate the info. Looks like I'll have to use a Glide wrapper after all.

Thanks!

There is always the option of coding a Glide wrapper to native. True glide cards are that rare no one has done it.
